[narrator] <i>Long, long ago,</i>
<i>a great calamity emerged</i>

4
00:00:17,434 --> 00:00:19,227
<i>from the depths of the Ashen Sea.</i>

5
00:00:19,310 --> 00:00:22,605
<i>Its form was that of a great beast</i>
<i>that destroyed all in its path,</i>

6
00:00:22,689 --> 00:00:24,816
<i>and Nergal was its name.</i>

7
00:00:24,899 --> 00:00:28,194
<i>Through the ages, many warriors</i>
<i>challenged the malevolent force</i>

8
00:00:28,278 --> 00:00:31,990
<i>known as the King of Ash,</i>
<i>but all were defeated.</i>

9
00:00:33,992 --> 00:00:36,911
<i>People had given up</i>
<i>on fighting the threat so long ago,</i>

10
00:00:36,995 --> 00:00:39,497
<i>the idea of resisting</i>
<i>seemed a distant memory.</i>

11
00:00:40,331 --> 00:00:44,044
<i>But then a new warrior</i>
<i>was about to be born.</i>

12
00:00:51,509 --> 00:00:53,845
[electrical buzzing]

13
00:00:55,263 --> 00:00:56,973
[theatrical music playing]

14
00:01:23,291 --> 00:01:24,542
[gasps]

15
00:01:25,335 --> 00:01:28,296
[Zirco sobbing] Sapphire! Oh, Sapphire!

16
00:01:28,963 --> 00:01:30,507
Oh, please, please!

17
00:01:30,590 --> 00:01:33,968
Sapphire, please. Sapphire!

18
00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:35,887
[Sapphire groans]

19
00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:38,681
[Zirco] Are you all right?

20
00:01:41,059 --> 00:01:42,143
Sapphire, wait.

21
00:01:42,727 --> 00:01:44,395
Your arm.

22
00:01:46,523 --> 00:01:48,066
- [Sapphire] I'm fine…
- Ooh, ooh.

23
00:01:48,691 --> 00:01:49,526
…Zirco.

24
00:01:52,111 --> 00:01:52,946
[both gasp]

25
00:01:54,447 --> 00:01:56,116
[Sapphire] What happened?

26
00:01:57,659 --> 00:02:00,370
It's all destroyed. There's nothing left.

27
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,708
[Sapphire groaning softly]

28
00:02:08,628 --> 00:02:10,004
[mumbled voice in a distance]

29
00:02:10,088 --> 00:02:12,257
Ah. Mother, is that you?

30
00:02:12,340 --> 00:02:16,177
- [mumbled voice in a distance continues]
- [Sapphire whimpers]

31
00:02:16,261 --> 00:02:18,721
[Sapphire] Mother! I'll get you out!

32
00:02:21,558 --> 00:02:23,143
[Zirco] Don't hurt yourself more.

33
00:02:24,853 --> 00:02:26,396
It must be blocked by the rubble.

34
00:02:27,063 --> 00:02:28,398
Mother, I'm coming!

35
00:02:28,481 --> 00:02:30,859
I'm gonna get you out of there! Hold on!

36
00:02:31,359 --> 00:02:34,320
[Queen] Sapphire, it's no use.

37
00:02:34,404 --> 00:02:35,530
What?

38
00:02:35,613 --> 00:02:39,284
No, Mother! What do you mean?
I can defeat the Nergal!

39
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,287
<i>I'm more powerful than that thing!</i>

40
00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:45,623
I'll put an end to that atrocity
once and for all!

41
00:02:45,707 --> 00:02:49,752
Damn it! I'll open the door!
Open up! I'll save you all!

42
00:02:49,836 --> 00:02:52,380
I'll save you and Father
and everyone in the kingdom!

43
00:02:52,463 --> 00:02:56,467
I'm going to protect everyone,
every last person! So, open up!

44
00:02:56,551 --> 00:02:58,052
[sobbing] Come on! Mother!

45
00:02:58,136 --> 00:03:01,514
{\an8}Open the door, Mother! Help me! Open it!

46
00:03:01,598 --> 00:03:04,434
{\an8}Trying to fight against this world
is meaningless.

47
00:03:04,517 --> 00:03:06,728
{\an8}Why can't you understand that?

48
00:03:09,022 --> 00:03:12,775
You're going to have to face the truth,
Sapphire. We've been defeated.

49
00:03:15,904 --> 00:03:18,364
[Sapphire] But, Mother, why would…

50
00:03:18,448 --> 00:03:20,617
No, not yet. I'll stay and fight.

51
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:23,536
I'll destroy that Nergal,
whatever it takes!

52
00:03:24,162 --> 00:03:25,079
{\an8}[Queen] Sapphire,

53
00:03:25,872 --> 00:03:28,041
{\an8}there's nothing you can do to stop it.

54
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:30,877
{\an8}It's over. Accept it.

55
00:03:32,420 --> 00:03:37,216
{\an8}The only way that we can survive
is to flee from those stronger than them.

56
00:03:38,593 --> 00:03:40,845
{\an8}This whole world can perish and rot,

57
00:03:41,638 --> 00:03:44,015
- but my final wish… [muffled speaking]
- [rumbling]

58
00:03:45,058 --> 00:03:46,351
No, I…

59
00:03:46,434 --> 00:03:48,937
[sobbing] Mother, no! Please!

60
00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:51,648
- Open the door! You can't!
- I'm sorry,

61
00:03:51,731 --> 00:03:54,067
- Mother, you can't!
- but I've gotta get out of here.

62
00:03:54,150 --> 00:03:56,694
- [Sapphire] Stop it! Let go!
- [Zirco straining]

63
00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:59,239
[Sapphire] Let go of me!

64
00:04:03,117 --> 00:04:04,535
[rumbling]

65
00:04:17,674 --> 00:04:20,593
[passengers whimpering,
indistinct talking]

66
00:04:25,265 --> 00:04:26,307
[groans softly]

67
00:04:33,982 --> 00:04:34,941
[Sapphire] The Nergal.

68
00:04:39,529 --> 00:04:40,697
[cawing]

69
00:04:53,084 --> 00:04:55,295
[rumbling in distance]

70
00:04:55,878 --> 00:04:57,422
[Sapphire groaning]

71
00:04:59,924 --> 00:05:00,800
Oh?

72
00:05:00,883 --> 00:05:02,176
[Zirco] Sapphire!

73
00:05:15,481 --> 00:05:17,233
[Zirco chuckling]

74
00:05:18,234 --> 00:05:22,113
Ah! I'm soaked to the bone.
All righty then.

75
00:05:23,031 --> 00:05:24,574
[groans softly]

76
00:05:26,242 --> 00:05:28,369
What are you doing over there, Zirco?

77
00:05:28,453 --> 00:05:30,913
[Zirco] I'm making you
a little something special.

78
00:05:31,414 --> 00:05:32,332
Special?

79
00:05:32,415 --> 00:05:35,168
Something that ought to help
liven up your spirits.

80
00:05:35,251 --> 00:05:37,253
You know I'm not in the mood
to do anything.

81
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:41,632
Besides, Mother always told me
to avoid doing anything unnecessary.

82
00:05:42,675 --> 00:05:45,303
[Zirco] Well, I'll have to offer
the Queen my contrition,

83
00:05:45,386 --> 00:05:48,306
because this is your new weapon, Sapphire.

84
00:05:49,098 --> 00:05:51,684
A weapon suited
to help us survive out here.

85
00:05:52,351 --> 00:05:56,397
It will allow you to hold things,
to carry things, and even to hug people.

86
00:05:57,315 --> 00:05:58,858
If we hope to make it in this world,

87
00:05:58,941 --> 00:06:01,652
we're going to have to start working
and earning our keep.

88
00:06:05,198 --> 00:06:06,574
That's not the same.

89
00:06:10,661 --> 00:06:11,704
[low growl]

90
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:18,961
[gasps] Oh, no.

91
00:06:20,588 --> 00:06:22,298
[groaning]

92
00:06:22,381 --> 00:06:23,966
[straining]

93
00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:27,428
{\an8}Trying to fight against this world
is meaningless.

94
00:06:27,512 --> 00:06:29,222
{\an8}Why can't you understand that?

95
00:06:31,599 --> 00:06:35,436
[screams]

96
00:06:42,693 --> 00:06:44,612
[Zirco] What's all the ruckus?

97
00:06:46,030 --> 00:06:48,533
[screams] Sapphire! Look out!

98
00:06:51,786 --> 00:06:52,662
[Sapphire groans]

99
00:06:55,957 --> 00:06:56,833
[effort scream]

100
00:07:00,461 --> 00:07:01,379
[grunts]

101
00:07:02,213 --> 00:07:03,047
Huh?

102
00:07:06,134 --> 00:07:08,553
- Oh, Sapphire!
- [gasps]

103
00:07:08,636 --> 00:07:11,639
Oh, thank goodness you're all right.

104
00:07:11,722 --> 00:07:13,558
- [Sapphire] Zirco.
- [sobbing]

105
00:07:19,063 --> 00:07:20,731
[enchanting music playing]

106
00:07:41,544 --> 00:07:43,463
[electrical buzzing]

107
00:07:48,092 --> 00:07:51,512
[choir music playing]

108
00:07:51,596 --> 00:07:52,847
Now let us pray.

109
00:07:53,681 --> 00:07:56,058
May the Angel of Hope guide us.

110
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:58,853
[congregation] May the Angel of Hope
guide us.

111
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:14,577
[indistinct chatter]

112
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:15,995
[woman] Here you go. Thank you.

113
00:08:16,078 --> 00:08:17,455
[girl] No, thank you.

114
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:19,916
And I hope you enjoy it.

115
00:08:24,086 --> 00:08:25,213
[man] One loaf, please.

116
00:08:25,296 --> 00:08:26,339
Here you go.

117
00:08:27,215 --> 00:08:31,219
I, uh, don't suppose you could make
the loaf a little cheaper today.

118
00:08:31,302 --> 00:08:33,137
- Uh--
- It's just, work's been drying up,

119
00:08:33,221 --> 00:08:35,056
and I'm barely making it as is.

120
00:08:35,139 --> 00:08:36,349
Uh, well, I…

121
00:08:38,017 --> 00:08:39,435
[chuckles]

122
00:08:40,353 --> 00:08:41,312
[sighs]

123
00:08:48,986 --> 00:08:51,072
[moaning weakly]

124
00:08:52,573 --> 00:08:54,408
[screams]

125
00:08:54,492 --> 00:08:59,747
[eerily] Can you spare some food, please?

126
00:09:00,498 --> 00:09:02,208
[groans]

127
00:09:02,291 --> 00:09:03,709
Jeez, come on.

128
00:09:03,793 --> 00:09:05,461
What am I supposed to do?

129
00:09:06,170 --> 00:09:07,797
Um, you all right?

130
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,091
[Sapphire sniffing] Smells so good.

131
00:09:10,633 --> 00:09:14,512
Ah! That smell! That smells amazing!

132
00:09:14,595 --> 00:09:20,101
{\an8}Uh, well, uh… See, I'm selling them
for 50 gold each. Interested?

133
00:09:20,685 --> 00:09:23,729
{\an8}I should have known. I don't have any.

134
00:09:23,813 --> 00:09:27,942
I had a feeling.
Oh. Well, I can't just let you starve!

135
00:09:39,870 --> 00:09:42,748
[Zirco and Sapphire chomping]

136
00:09:44,792 --> 00:09:47,670
- [father] Oh.
- [chomping continues]

137
00:09:47,753 --> 00:09:50,673
You two must not have eaten for some time.

138
00:09:50,756 --> 00:09:52,258
While they are welcome here,

139
00:09:52,341 --> 00:09:55,052
maybe next time
you can just bring them the leftovers.

140
00:09:55,136 --> 00:09:58,681
Sorry, Mom. I wasn't sure
I could make that kind of decision.

141
00:10:00,683 --> 00:10:04,270
I haven't been able to enjoy
a hot meal for so long.

142
00:10:04,353 --> 00:10:05,730
I really appreciate it.

143
00:10:05,813 --> 00:10:07,148
[girl] Uh, of course.

144
00:10:07,857 --> 00:10:10,109
[father] Sounds like food's
been hard to come by.

145
00:10:10,192 --> 00:10:12,945
{\an8}We were forced from our homeland
seven years ago.

146
00:10:13,029 --> 00:10:14,822
{\an8}Since then, we couldn't find work,

147
00:10:14,905 --> 00:10:16,949
{\an8}so we've been wandering
from place to place,

148
00:10:17,033 --> 00:10:18,909
{\an8}eating whatever food we can find.

149
00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:21,287
{\an8}[mother] All too familiar a story.

150
00:10:21,370 --> 00:10:23,122
- Awful, nonetheless.
- [father] Mmm.

151
00:10:23,205 --> 00:10:25,875
An old woman and a young girl
all on their own.

152
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:27,335
I imagine it's been rough.

153
00:10:28,169 --> 00:10:31,797
It's so good!
This thing is delicious! What is it?

154
00:10:31,881 --> 00:10:35,134
[chuckles] That is a bone
in Golden Rat steak.

155
00:10:35,885 --> 00:10:38,512
[father] It's one of their
local specialties here in Gold Land.

156
00:10:38,596 --> 00:10:40,640
[Sapphire chomping loudly]

157
00:10:40,723 --> 00:10:44,518
So this is the Golden Rat steak.
Mmm. I've got room for more!

158
00:10:44,602 --> 00:10:47,438
- Can I have another helping? [laughing]
- [mother] I wish I could,

159
00:10:47,521 --> 00:10:49,440
but if you want more, you'll have to pay.

160
00:10:49,523 --> 00:10:51,901
- Times are hard for us, too.
- [Sapphire] Oh, right.

161
00:10:53,152 --> 00:10:54,195
Of course.

162
00:10:56,447 --> 00:10:59,200
{\an8}We're willing to do anything.
Please, can we work for you?

163
00:10:59,283 --> 00:11:00,951
{\an8}[father] We've got all the help we need.

164
00:11:01,035 --> 00:11:03,704
{\an8}Do you know anywhere around here
that's looking for workers?

165
00:11:03,788 --> 00:11:07,375
In my experience, when outsiders
are looking to make money quickly,

166
00:11:07,458 --> 00:11:09,585
it's the mines that they turn to first.

167
00:11:09,669 --> 00:11:11,879
It's not the kind of work I'd recommend.

168
00:11:11,962 --> 00:11:12,963
[Sapphire sighs]

169
00:11:16,050 --> 00:11:18,886
I can't just sit around
feeling sorry for myself forever.

170
00:11:21,389 --> 00:11:22,223
{\an8}I'll do it.

171
00:11:22,973 --> 00:11:24,141
{\an8}Can you take me there?

172
00:11:24,225 --> 00:11:26,102
{\an8}What? Now?

173
00:11:26,185 --> 00:11:27,603
Uh, um…

174
00:11:28,396 --> 00:11:31,023
Don't tell me you're planning to go,
looking like that.

175
00:11:31,107 --> 00:11:33,567
[Sapphire and Zirco exclaim]

176
00:11:33,651 --> 00:11:35,611
[father] Fine. Draw them a bath, will you?

177
00:11:35,694 --> 00:11:37,405
[both laughing]

178
00:11:39,490 --> 00:11:41,617
[Sapphire] <i>I'm Sapphire. Nice to meet you.</i>

179
00:11:42,201 --> 00:11:45,079
- [Pine] <i>My name's Pine.</i>
- [Sapphire] <i>Pine? That's such a cute name.</i>

180
00:11:45,162 --> 00:11:46,956
[Pine] <i>Do… Do you really think so?</i>

181
00:11:47,957 --> 00:11:50,334
[Sapphire] <i>Originally,</i>
<i>I'm from Silver Land, but…</i>

182
00:11:51,544 --> 00:11:54,088
<i>It's a long story,</i>
<i>and kind of a sad one, too,</i>

183
00:11:54,171 --> 00:11:55,923
<i>- but anyway…</i>
- [Pine] <i>I bet it was hard.</i>

184
00:11:56,549 --> 00:11:59,009
<i>But now I'm glad to see</i>
<i>that you're doing better.</i>

185
00:11:59,635 --> 00:12:01,053
<i>Welcome to Gold Land!</i>

186
00:12:01,595 --> 00:12:03,222
[Sapphire chuckles] <i>Thanks.</i>

187
00:12:03,305 --> 00:12:05,391
[bell tolling]

188
00:12:10,646 --> 00:12:13,399
[Velvet] The devastation of Silver Land
suffered like no other,

189
00:12:13,482 --> 00:12:16,735
but we've been able to enjoy
relative peace since the calamity.

190
00:12:16,819 --> 00:12:20,448
However, the King of Ash is stirred
and the Nergal are active again.

191
00:12:21,365 --> 00:12:24,452
And as a result, it has slowed
the pace of our mining operation.

192
00:12:24,994 --> 00:12:26,328
[man 1] What more can you tell us

193
00:12:26,412 --> 00:12:28,998
about the source of crystal energy
discovered the other day?

194
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,418
[Velvet] It has been sealed off
and is being investigated.

195
00:12:33,002 --> 00:12:35,713
[man 1] Be cautious
that it doesn't provoke the King of Ash.

196
00:12:35,796 --> 00:12:36,630
[Velvet] Understood.

197
00:12:36,714 --> 00:12:39,300
[man 2] Our nation's finances
continue to be strained,

198
00:12:39,383 --> 00:12:41,677
what with crystal prices
soaring higher than ever.

199
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,346
[man 1] And the black market
is only gaining momentum.

200
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:47,016
[Velvet] The miners and immigrants
are becoming agitated.

201
00:12:47,099 --> 00:12:50,102
Yesterday they began chanting,
"Defeat the King of Ash" again,

202
00:12:50,186 --> 00:12:51,562
which led to another riot.

203
00:12:52,688 --> 00:12:54,899
Then suppress them by any means.

204
00:12:55,774 --> 00:12:57,067
{\an8}It is said the Angel of Hope

205
00:12:57,151 --> 00:13:00,362
{\an8}is the only one who can defeat
the King of Ash, is it not?

206
00:13:00,946 --> 00:13:02,448
That's a dangerous idea.

207
00:13:02,990 --> 00:13:05,784
Any individual caught
disseminating harmful notions,

208
00:13:05,868 --> 00:13:08,370
or rumors, will be apprehended at once,

209
00:13:08,454 --> 00:13:11,165
and will be subject
to public whipping for their crime.

210
00:13:11,665 --> 00:13:12,625
Understood.

211
00:13:13,417 --> 00:13:16,337
[Pope] We must not resist the King of Ash.

212
00:13:16,420 --> 00:13:20,090
If we want to survive,
we have no choice but to bear the pain.

213
00:13:21,967 --> 00:13:24,637
May the Angel of Hope guide us.

214
00:13:26,222 --> 00:13:28,891
[all] May the Angel of Hope guide us.

215
00:13:33,229 --> 00:13:34,355
[Sapphire and Zirco] Mmm.

216
00:13:35,189 --> 00:13:36,106
Off we go!

217
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:40,194
You helped me get registered
and everything. Thanks so much.

218
00:13:40,277 --> 00:13:42,655
You'll be starting tomorrow. You ready?

219
00:13:42,738 --> 00:13:43,656
Yeah.

220
00:13:43,739 --> 00:13:46,200
{\an8}I've got some business
I have to take care of.

221
00:13:46,283 --> 00:13:48,244
{\an8}Why don't you two go on ahead without me?

222
00:13:48,327 --> 00:13:50,204
{\an8}Huh? What business?

223
00:13:50,287 --> 00:13:53,040
[Zirco snickers]
You'll just have to wait and see.

224
00:13:53,123 --> 00:13:54,917
Wait, Zirco, that's not fair.

225
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:55,918
[Pine chuckles]

226
00:13:56,585 --> 00:13:58,295
Oh, it's nothing.

227
00:13:58,379 --> 00:14:00,798
But there's lots more
interesting stuff over there.

228
00:14:00,881 --> 00:14:02,967
Huh? Really?

229
00:14:04,176 --> 00:14:05,928
- Shall we go?
- Mmm. Yeah.

230
00:14:07,137 --> 00:14:09,890
[laughing]

231
00:14:11,475 --> 00:14:12,893
[inhales, sighs]

232
00:14:16,564 --> 00:14:18,649
[Pine] <i>Mom, you'd be so proud of me!</i>

233
00:14:18,732 --> 00:14:21,527
<i>I think I might have just made</i>
<i>my first friend.</i>

234
00:14:22,236 --> 00:14:23,404
Huh? What's wrong?

235
00:14:24,113 --> 00:14:26,365
{\an8}Huh? Really, it's nothing.

236
00:14:26,448 --> 00:14:27,700
Come on. You can tell me.

237
00:14:28,325 --> 00:14:32,162
Look! They're cooking up one of the famous
Golden Rat dishes over there!

238
00:14:32,246 --> 00:14:33,747
Huh?! Whoa!

239
00:14:33,831 --> 00:14:36,292
[screaming] Did you say "Golden Rat?"

240
00:14:36,375 --> 00:14:38,002
Oh, that was close.

241
00:14:38,085 --> 00:14:40,296
I'm here all proud of myself
for making a friend,

242
00:14:40,379 --> 00:14:42,548
and I don't even know
what Sapphire thinks of me.

243
00:14:42,631 --> 00:14:44,800
[Sapphire screams] Where is it?
Where is it?

244
00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:46,093
- Huh?
- [Sapphire] What's that?

245
00:14:46,176 --> 00:14:47,303
Oh, no, not there.

246
00:14:47,386 --> 00:14:49,263
[both panting]

247
00:14:58,522 --> 00:14:59,857
{\an8}Why did you do that?

248
00:15:03,068 --> 00:15:06,614
[Pine] <i>The stores on the north side</i>
<i>are for upperclass customers only.</i>

249
00:15:07,364 --> 00:15:08,699
[Sapphire] <i>Upperclass customers?</i>

250
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:14,872
- How many times do I have to tell you…
- [Sapphire] Oh, I understand.

251
00:15:15,915 --> 00:15:18,000
That means outsiders
aren't allowed either.

252
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:19,877
[Pine] What is it?

253
00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:22,504
[Sapphire] My country
had stuff like this, too.

254
00:15:23,422 --> 00:15:25,341
Not that any of that matters now.

255
00:15:25,424 --> 00:15:28,469
The Nergal didn't care about status,
and just destroyed everything.

256
00:15:29,053 --> 00:15:30,346
[Pine] Oh, I'm sorry.

257
00:15:30,429 --> 00:15:31,972
[Sapphire] Oh, it's fine, really.

258
00:15:32,473 --> 00:15:35,684
Nowadays, it doesn't matter to me
whether someone's upperclass or common.

259
00:15:36,185 --> 00:15:38,270
I just want to try to find
a way to help people.

260
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:41,231
I keep trying to figure out
what I have to offer, though.

261
00:15:41,982 --> 00:15:43,442
Still haven't found it yet.

262
00:15:43,525 --> 00:15:46,070
[Pine] Really? I feel the exact same.

263
00:15:46,153 --> 00:15:48,989
- [Sapphire] Huh?
- There's something inside of me

264
00:15:49,073 --> 00:15:50,741
that's always pushing me to help others,

265
00:15:51,241 --> 00:15:53,702
but then I get nervous and I freeze up.

266
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:55,871
I mean, I'm not really good at anything.

267
00:15:56,538 --> 00:15:58,749
What's someone like me even suited for?

268
00:16:01,293 --> 00:16:03,087
Pine, you're just like me, then.

269
00:16:04,338 --> 00:16:05,673
{\an8}I'm not like you at all.

270
00:16:06,548 --> 00:16:08,467
{\an8}Your home country fell apart,

271
00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:10,886
{\an8}but that didn't stop you
from surviving on your own.

272
00:16:11,512 --> 00:16:13,472
{\an8}You're amazing. I could never do that.

273
00:16:14,223 --> 00:16:15,683
{\an8}I can barely do anything.

274
00:16:16,517 --> 00:16:17,977
{\an8}I'm hardly amazing.

275
00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:21,105
I mean, I still haven't helped anybody.

276
00:16:22,523 --> 00:16:23,941
I have an idea.

277
00:16:24,608 --> 00:16:26,902
Let's try and find something
we can do together.

278
00:16:27,486 --> 00:16:30,698
But if that's the case,
then you're gonna have to be my friend.

279
00:16:30,781 --> 00:16:33,158
[gasps] Friends?

280
00:16:33,242 --> 00:16:36,578
[Sapphire] F-R-I-E-N-D-S.
Friends. [chuckles]

281
00:16:38,247 --> 00:16:41,625
[Zirco] <i>Sapphire! I found a place</i>
<i>where we can stay!</i>

282
00:16:41,709 --> 00:16:45,004
[Sapphire] <i>Wow, really?</i>
<i>Thank you so much, Zirco.</i>

283
00:16:46,672 --> 00:16:49,174
- Hey, Zirco?
- [Zirco] What is it, Sapphire?

284
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:53,137
I made a friend who's my age
for the first time.

285
00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:55,639
Mmm. Did you, now?

286
00:16:56,181 --> 00:16:58,809
[breathing deeply]

287
00:17:00,561 --> 00:17:02,229
[Zirco] Asleep already, are you?

288
00:17:03,105 --> 00:17:05,232
I'm happy for you, Sapphire.

289
00:17:06,608 --> 00:17:08,277
[bell tolling]

290
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:09,486
[groans softly]

291
00:17:09,570 --> 00:17:11,447
[both gargle]

292
00:17:15,117 --> 00:17:17,369
[bell continues tolling]

293
00:17:30,758 --> 00:17:31,717
[Rock] All right, guys.

294
00:17:32,551 --> 00:17:35,054
Sapphire and Zirco here
will be joining our group.

295
00:17:35,137 --> 00:17:36,638
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

296
00:17:36,722 --> 00:17:38,766
My name is Rock, and I'm the leader.

297
00:17:39,349 --> 00:17:40,726
This is Chorogy,

298
00:17:40,809 --> 00:17:42,436
- and next to him is Hecate.
- [scoffs]

299
00:17:43,687 --> 00:17:46,607
{\an8}- My name is Chick.
- And my name is Tack.

300
00:17:46,690 --> 00:17:48,442
[Sapphire] You guys look exactly alike.

301
00:17:48,525 --> 00:17:51,653
[Chorogy] Sheesh. So they finally decided
to send us reinforcements,

302
00:17:51,737 --> 00:17:53,947
and what do we get? An old lady.

303
00:17:54,031 --> 00:17:55,532
[Rock] Hey, come on, Chorogy.

304
00:17:55,616 --> 00:17:57,201
[Zirco chuckles] Even old ladies

305
00:17:57,284 --> 00:17:59,536
have to work
for their food somehow, you know.

306
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:00,829
- [punches]
- [groans]

307
00:18:00,913 --> 00:18:03,207
- [workers clamoring]
- Right, now restrain him.

308
00:18:06,043 --> 00:18:09,129
You were the one who was leading that riot
the other day, weren't you?

309
00:18:09,213 --> 00:18:11,090
Ugh. Damn it all.

310
00:18:11,173 --> 00:18:14,259
Why are we the ones always forced
to do the dangerous work?

311
00:18:14,343 --> 00:18:17,429
Come on, everyone!
Raise the rallying cry! Fight!

312
00:18:19,473 --> 00:18:21,683
Are you finished with your ranting now?

313
00:18:21,767 --> 00:18:23,852
You have us scraping to the King of Ash,

314
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:26,814
when that Nergal's just going
to kill us all eventually!

315
00:18:27,397 --> 00:18:29,191
But you Mitra just sit and watch!

316
00:18:29,274 --> 00:18:31,318
You bastards think you can--

317
00:18:31,401 --> 00:18:33,320
- [punch lands]
- [groaning]

318
00:18:33,403 --> 00:18:35,280
Throw him in solitary. Take him away.

319
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,285
Let me remind you all of the rules here.

320
00:18:40,369 --> 00:18:42,996
No one must ever defy the King of Ash!

321
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,250
Instead, be grateful to the King of Ash
that you remain alive.

322
00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:48,001
Now get back to work!

323
00:18:48,085 --> 00:18:50,129
May the Angel of Hope guide us.

324
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:52,965
[Rock] Velvet, that bastard.

325
00:18:53,048 --> 00:18:54,007
[Sapphire] Who's he?

326
00:18:54,091 --> 00:18:56,927
[Rock] One of the Mitra in charge
of managing the mining site.

327
00:18:58,053 --> 00:19:00,139
[Sapphire] I can tell
I don't like him already.

328
00:19:00,222 --> 00:19:02,724
[Rock] Trust me, it'd be best
if you don't do anything

329
00:19:02,808 --> 00:19:04,226
to draw his attention.

330
00:19:10,190 --> 00:19:13,360
So, how much of this crystal
should I be digging up?

331
00:19:13,443 --> 00:19:15,070
As much as you can.

332
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:17,614
The more crystals you unearth,
the more you get paid.

333
00:19:17,698 --> 00:19:20,409
More crystals means more money? [yelps]

334
00:19:20,492 --> 00:19:23,579
There's a little Golden Rat steak
with my name on it.

335
00:19:23,662 --> 00:19:25,956
Moron. You make it sound like it's easy.

336
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:27,666
What do you mean by "Moron"?

337
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:31,044
Come on, newbie.
There's no beginner's luck on this job.

338
00:19:31,753 --> 00:19:33,839
I don't need luck. I've got skill.

339
00:19:33,922 --> 00:19:36,091
All right, then,
if you dig up more than I do,

340
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:39,261
- you can have my whole share.
- [screams] Really?

341
00:19:42,973 --> 00:19:45,809
[Sapphire] All right, crystals.
Come to mama!

342
00:19:45,893 --> 00:19:46,977
Huh?

343
00:19:47,060 --> 00:19:49,313
- [effort screaming]
- She's really giving it her all.

344
00:19:49,396 --> 00:19:52,482
She'll wear herself out like that.
Come on. There's a better spot there.

345
00:19:56,570 --> 00:19:59,406
- [Chick] What's with that machine?
- [Tack] She's cheating. Not fair.

346
00:19:59,489 --> 00:20:02,201
[Zirco] I may not look it,
but this old lady is a genius inventor.

347
00:20:03,493 --> 00:20:06,872
[Hecate and Chorogy] One, two. One, two.
One, two. One, two. One, two. One, two.

348
00:20:06,955 --> 00:20:08,332
[Rock sighs]

349
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:11,877
Nice work today, guys.
We might even finish early.

350
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,837
[Sapphire] One, two.
One steak, two steaks.

351
00:20:13,921 --> 00:20:17,216
One steak, two steaks. Two steaks for me!

352
00:20:17,966 --> 00:20:19,676
[Chorogy] Is her yield increasing?

353
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,428
Focus on your own work.

354
00:20:21,511 --> 00:20:23,639
Why do you turn everything
into a competition?

355
00:20:24,264 --> 00:20:25,432
And how did I get involved?

356
00:20:25,515 --> 00:20:27,517
Could you be more annoying?

357
00:20:27,601 --> 00:20:30,020
[rat squealing]

359
00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:36,610
What do you think you're doing?!

360
00:20:36,693 --> 00:20:38,946
Sorry. I didn't do it on purpose.

361
00:20:42,783 --> 00:20:43,867
That's a bad sign.

362
00:20:46,912 --> 00:20:48,914
- [explosion]
- [gasps] Huh?

363
00:20:53,835 --> 00:20:55,629
[grunts, pants]

364
00:20:59,132 --> 00:21:01,009
[gasps] A Nergal?

365
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,389

[clamoring in distance]

367
00:21:13,730 --> 00:21:15,524
The Nergal's back again.

368
00:21:15,607 --> 00:21:18,110
Yes, sir. Lord Velvet,
you should evacuate, too.

369
00:21:18,193 --> 00:21:21,029
Get as many of the remaining miners
as possible to safety.

370
00:21:21,822 --> 00:21:24,157
I'm afraid we can't afford
to lose any more workers.

371
00:21:24,241 --> 00:21:25,284
[both guards] Yes, sir.

372
00:21:27,327 --> 00:21:29,705
- [people screaming]
- [man] Quickly! Keep moving!

373
00:21:30,747 --> 00:21:31,999
- You, don't stop!
- [guard] Move!

374
00:21:32,082 --> 00:21:34,626
{\an8}- Get yourself to higher ground! Quickly!
- [guard] Keep moving!

375
00:21:36,169 --> 00:21:38,171
{\an8}- [woman 1] Are you all right?
- [man panting]

376
00:21:38,255 --> 00:21:39,089
{\an8}[woman 2] Hurry up!

378
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:53,145
[sighs] This is all my fault.

379
00:21:53,228 --> 00:21:55,731
[Rock] Forget about that for now.
We gotta run.

380
00:21:56,732 --> 00:21:58,692
Can't we do something
other than running away?

381
00:22:01,570 --> 00:22:03,071
[man gasps]

382
00:22:08,577 --> 00:22:10,537

383
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:11,955

- Oh, no!

385
00:22:24,009 --> 00:22:26,428
[Zirco] Oh, no. Sapphire! Sapphire!

[groans]

388
00:22:36,855 --> 00:22:40,150
Oh, I'm sorry I didn't see you there.
You better get going.

389
00:22:40,233 --> 00:22:41,151
See ya.

Here. Hold on.

00:22:56,041 --> 00:22:56,917
Thanks, lady.

Get away while you can!

- [Chick] Incredible.

Someone's actually fighting
one of the Nergal?

449
00:28:22,992 --> 00:28:25,995
I doubt we'll be able to use
this mining site after this.

But we do have this guy's team
to thank for saving us. [chuckles]

that the Nergal ran away?

470
00:30:26,741 --> 00:30:28,743
[Velvet] Which team was present? Tell me.

471
00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:32,288
Yes, sir. The team I saw the closest to it
down there was Rock's crew.

472
00:30:32,372 --> 00:30:33,665
Isn't that right, Chorogy?

473
00:30:33,748 --> 00:30:36,000
Yes, it's exactly as he said.

474
00:30:36,918 --> 00:30:39,754
Could this be the work
of a demon, or was it…

475
00:30:39,838 --> 00:30:40,672
- Mmm?
- No.

476
00:30:41,714 --> 00:30:44,717
- Bring Rock's crew to me at once!
- [guard 1] Yes, sir.

Count the miners and check for casualties,

478

- and tend to the injured!
- [guard 2] Yes, sir!

So, how do I… How does this thing work?

484

Come on!
There's gotta be a switch or something!

- [Chick] Thank you.
- [Tack] Thank you so much.

492
00:31:27,719 --> 00:31:29,304
Are you all right, sapphire?

493
00:31:29,387 --> 00:31:32,974
- You're not hurt, are you?
- No, but I am a bit…

494

A bit tired.

- [Zirco] Sapphire!

496

[crying] I'm sorry. So sorry, Sapphire.
I'm the one who was a moron.

What are you crying about?

498
00:31:44,986 --> 00:31:48,781
Sapphire, you're amazing. I mean it.

{\an8}[sobbing] I'm gonna give you
all of my crystals!

500

[Sapphire] I don't need all that, Hecate.

501
00:31:55,246 --> 00:31:56,664
But how about this?

502

[indistinct talking]

506
00:32:27,737 --> 00:32:29,614
[Rock] Well, we didn't see
anyone like that.

507
00:32:33,493 --> 00:32:35,286
Clearly, someone is responsible.

508
00:32:36,037 --> 00:32:39,123
If you're caught lying to me,
the punishment is death.

509

Death?

510
00:32:41,250 --> 00:32:43,461
{\an8}Once the King of Ash has been provoked,

511
00:32:43,544 --> 00:32:46,547
{\an8}the Nergal will return
to destroy us completely.

512
00:32:47,173 --> 00:32:49,425
{\an8}Which means your jobs
are on the line as well.

513
00:32:49,509 --> 00:32:52,470
That Nergal tripped on its own tail,
bit its tongue,

514
00:32:52,553 --> 00:32:54,722
- and scurried off whimpering.
- [Velvet] Enough.

515
00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:56,015
Uh, you know…

516
00:32:56,099 --> 00:32:58,309
- [Velvet] What is it?
- Actually… [groans]

517
00:32:58,393 --> 00:33:00,269
Your threats will get you nowhere.

518
00:33:02,105 --> 00:33:02,939
{\an8}Fine, then.

519
00:33:03,481 --> 00:33:05,984
{\an8}But should you notice anything,
I expect a report.

520
00:33:06,067 --> 00:33:09,404
[Rock] Indeed, if we do,
we'll let you know.

521
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:17,578
Listen up. I won't have
any of us selling out our own.

522
00:33:18,204 --> 00:33:22,458
We don't know anything about the person
who fought that Nergal, understand?

523
00:33:22,542 --> 00:33:23,876
I appreciate it.

524
00:33:25,420 --> 00:33:26,796
[guard 1] Sir, what do you think?

525
00:33:27,338 --> 00:33:28,673
Were they telling the truth?

526
00:33:30,842 --> 00:33:33,219
{\an8}What happened here today
is strictly confidential.

527
00:33:33,302 --> 00:33:34,637
{\an8}It does not leave this room.

528
00:33:34,721 --> 00:33:37,015
{\an8}- [guard 1] But, sir--
- I'm serious.

529
00:33:37,098 --> 00:33:39,392
{\an8}And I will take
full responsibility for it.

530
00:33:41,894 --> 00:33:43,771
[Rock] To our safe return!

531
00:33:43,855 --> 00:33:45,481
[all] Cheers!

532
00:33:45,565 --> 00:33:47,442
- [Pine's father] Take this.
- Sure.

533
00:33:47,525 --> 00:33:49,986
[Hecate] Tonight, drinks are on me!

534
00:33:50,069 --> 00:33:52,905
[all cheering]

535
00:33:52,989 --> 00:33:55,450
[Pine] Sorry for the wait, Sapphire.
Here's your favorite.

536
00:33:55,533 --> 00:33:57,410
[exclaims]

537
00:33:58,077 --> 00:34:00,496
Come on, Pine, you too.
Let's have a toast.

538
00:34:00,580 --> 00:34:02,707
Huh? All right. Cheers.

539
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:04,167
[both chuckle]

540
00:34:04,250 --> 00:34:06,377
Mmm. [satisfied sigh]

541
00:34:06,919 --> 00:34:08,963
I've been waiting for you, Golden Rat.

542
00:34:09,047 --> 00:34:10,214
It's so good.

543
00:34:10,965 --> 00:34:13,760
I wish I could stay,
but I have to help the other customers.

544
00:34:13,843 --> 00:34:15,386
Sorry, I don't want to keep you.

545
00:34:15,470 --> 00:34:18,806
I just wanted to make sure
I shared some of this joy with you, Pine.

546
00:34:18,890 --> 00:34:20,433
Oh, don't apologize.

547
00:34:20,516 --> 00:34:22,935
I've been so busy,
I'm the one who should say sorry.

548
00:34:23,019 --> 00:34:25,772
When I heard a Nergal had appeared again,
I was so surprised.

549
00:34:25,855 --> 00:34:27,106
[exclaims] You know?

550
00:34:27,690 --> 00:34:30,568
In all honesty, I wasn't sure
I was gonna make it.

551
00:34:30,651 --> 00:34:33,529
But everyone is talking about
how amazing you were.

552
00:34:33,613 --> 00:34:35,073
[laughs]

553
00:34:35,156 --> 00:34:36,741
It was luck. That's all.

554
00:34:36,824 --> 00:34:38,034
- [Pine's father] Pine!
- Oh.

555
00:34:38,117 --> 00:34:40,078
Uh, hey, Sapphire.

556
00:34:40,161 --> 00:34:42,747
I've been thinking about
what I can do to help people, too.

557
00:34:42,830 --> 00:34:45,541
Ta-da! I wanna share my ideas with you!

558
00:34:46,250 --> 00:34:48,377
Really? I love that.

559
00:34:48,461 --> 00:34:50,004
I better get back to work.

560
00:34:50,088 --> 00:34:51,506
[Sapphire] You got this.

561
00:34:52,131 --> 00:34:53,216
[sighs]

562
00:34:53,299 --> 00:34:56,302
[Endo] It's wild, though,
because if it weren't for that knight,

563
00:34:56,385 --> 00:34:57,970
there wouldn't be this many survivors.

564
00:34:58,054 --> 00:35:00,556
[man] Quiet. Rock told us
not to talk about that.

565
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,850
[Endo] It's fine. We're celebrating today.

566
00:35:02,934 --> 00:35:05,645
We're letting loose. So what if our lips
get loose, too? [laughs]

567
00:35:05,728 --> 00:35:07,605
[Sembry] Oh, dear knight,
oh, Angel of Hope,

568
00:35:07,688 --> 00:35:10,149
please eliminate all the Nergal for us!

569
00:35:11,317 --> 00:35:13,945
- [Chorogy] What are you talking about?
- What's wrong with you?

570
00:35:14,487 --> 00:35:17,573
[Chorogy] The Mitra are always saying
that if you anger the King of Ash,

571
00:35:17,657 --> 00:35:19,242
terrible things will happen.

572
00:35:19,325 --> 00:35:21,369
Now, wait a second. Last time I checked,

573
00:35:21,452 --> 00:35:22,995
you're an immigrant too, Chorogy.

574
00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:25,206
Now you're gonna side
with the Gold Landers?

575
00:35:25,289 --> 00:35:27,750
We lied to them.
If they find out, they'll kill us.

576
00:35:27,834 --> 00:35:28,918
[Sembry] Shut your mouth.

577
00:35:29,001 --> 00:35:31,879
And why should I?
I haven't said anything wrong!

578
00:35:31,963 --> 00:35:34,924
- [Sembry] You've got more to say?
- [Rock] That's enough, Chorogy.

579
00:35:35,424 --> 00:35:38,845
Tonight, all the drinks are on me,
so no fighting.

580
00:35:40,805 --> 00:35:42,932
Sorry about getting you dragged
into this, Chorogy.

581
00:35:43,015 --> 00:35:44,684
- [Chorogy grunts]
- [Rock] Wait.

582
00:35:48,855 --> 00:35:50,523
[sighs] What's his problem?

583
00:35:51,107 --> 00:35:53,651
Whatever. Let's party!

584
00:35:53,734 --> 00:35:54,610
[all] Yeah!

585
00:35:55,444 --> 00:35:57,530
[Pine humming]

586
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:06,330
It's not fair.

587
00:36:06,414 --> 00:36:10,543
You give Sapphire a little attention,
and suddenly she's all full of herself

588
00:36:10,626 --> 00:36:12,962
just because she took out
one of the Nergal.

589
00:36:13,045 --> 00:36:14,297
[man] Hey, you.

590
00:36:14,380 --> 00:36:16,174
[Chorogy groaning]

591
00:36:17,550 --> 00:36:21,596
[Chorogy screaming]

592
00:36:23,556 --> 00:36:26,100
[Zirco] I must say, that thing
came as quite a surprise.

593
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:27,518
What thing?

594
00:36:27,602 --> 00:36:30,313
That thing you're wearing
on your head, Sapphire.

595
00:36:30,396 --> 00:36:32,231
Uh, my ribbon?

596
00:36:32,315 --> 00:36:35,234
Mmm. I'd like to take
a closer look at that thing.

597
00:36:35,318 --> 00:36:36,485
[straining]

598
00:36:40,198 --> 00:36:41,699
Why isn't it doing it?

599
00:36:41,782 --> 00:36:43,743
[Zirco] Are you trying
to keep me in suspense?

600
00:36:43,826 --> 00:36:45,620
[straining]

601
00:36:51,584 --> 00:36:52,710
Ooh!

602
00:36:52,793 --> 00:36:55,630
{\an8}I think maybe it has something
to do with the crystals.

603
00:36:55,713 --> 00:36:58,466
{\an8}Hmm. If I'm honest,
I don't really understand it myself.

604
00:36:59,091 --> 00:37:01,385
{\an8}And your body feels perfectly fine, right?

605
00:37:02,136 --> 00:37:03,596
Mmm, yeah. I feel great.

606
00:37:04,889 --> 00:37:06,265
Maybe even better than ever.

607
00:37:06,807 --> 00:37:09,143
{\an8}[sighs in relief] I'm glad to hear it.

608
00:37:10,102 --> 00:37:11,479
[sobs softly]

609
00:37:11,562 --> 00:37:14,607
It must have been scary.
I'm so proud of you, Sapphire.

610
00:37:16,025 --> 00:37:18,319
{\an8}There's nothing you can do to stop it.

611
00:37:19,654 --> 00:37:21,364
It's over, accept it.

612
00:37:23,616 --> 00:37:25,743
Hey, Zirco, I found it.

613
00:37:25,826 --> 00:37:28,371
I know what I want to do.
I know what my purpose is.

614
00:37:28,996 --> 00:37:30,581
- [Zirco] Helping people?
- Mmm.

615
00:37:31,540 --> 00:37:34,627
But it's more than just fighting Nergal
as the Princess Knight.

616
00:37:34,710 --> 00:37:37,296
Anyone who's been struggling
deserves my help.

617
00:37:37,380 --> 00:37:39,966
And I think I survived
to be that kind of hero.

618
00:37:41,175 --> 00:37:42,385
{\an8}And I'm your support.

619
00:37:42,468 --> 00:37:45,429
{\an8}If there's anything
you need this genius inventor to make,

620
00:37:45,513 --> 00:37:46,847
{\an8}you let me know.

621
00:37:46,931 --> 00:37:48,557
Mmm. Thanks, Zirco.

622
00:37:49,892 --> 00:37:51,727
Hmm? Actually…

623
00:37:57,900 --> 00:37:59,819
[pleasant music playing]

624
00:38:23,676 --> 00:38:25,011
[man 1] Oh, dear.

625
00:38:25,094 --> 00:38:28,055
The fire is spreading faster
than they can put it out. What's that?

626
00:38:28,139 --> 00:38:30,433
Is that the cry of someone
who's been left behind?

627
00:38:30,516 --> 00:38:31,600
What will they do now?

628
00:38:32,685 --> 00:38:36,188
[man 2] Princess Knight to the rescue!
Alley-oop!

629
00:38:37,148 --> 00:38:40,318
[man 1] And just like that,
the young girl was rescued.

630
00:38:42,111 --> 00:38:43,571
[man 1] I saw that in real life.

631
00:38:43,654 --> 00:38:45,406
[woman] She was incredible, wasn't she?

632
00:38:45,489 --> 00:38:47,742
[man 2] The Princess Knight
appeared again, huh?

633
00:38:47,825 --> 00:38:50,036
[man 1] You know,
she saved my life once, too.

634
00:38:50,119 --> 00:38:51,078
[chuckles]

635
00:39:00,087 --> 00:39:01,464
[Pine] Ta-da!

636
00:39:02,214 --> 00:39:05,426
I'm still not sure
what exactly I can do to help people,

637
00:39:05,509 --> 00:39:08,304
but I started by writing down
the things that I'm good at.

638
00:39:08,387 --> 00:39:09,930
Oh. Like what?

639
00:39:10,681 --> 00:39:12,641
The first one I wrote down is singing.

640
00:39:13,184 --> 00:39:16,937
- Wow, Pine, I love it!
- Welp, I actually said it out loud.

641
00:39:17,021 --> 00:39:18,481
Then this will be perfect.

642
00:39:18,564 --> 00:39:19,815
Uh? [screams]

643
00:39:19,899 --> 00:39:21,275
[Sapphire] Ta-da!

644
00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:23,235
[gasps loudly] What have you got?

00:39:24,070 --> 00:39:26,155
[flute playing]

646
00:39:26,822 --> 00:39:30,076
- It's a flute.
- [exclaims]

647
00:39:30,159 --> 00:39:33,829
I was right.
Something told me you loved music.

648
00:39:33,913 --> 00:39:35,039
Why wouldn't you?

649
00:39:35,122 --> 00:39:37,917
Music has the ability
to lift people's spirits.

650
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,212
[chuckles] Yeah. Exactly.

651
00:39:41,295 --> 00:39:44,507
- Why don't we give it a try right now?
- Sure.

Huh.

You're that miner, Sapphire, aren't you?

659
00:40:09,365 --> 00:40:10,741
Yeah, that's right.

[Velvet] So you're this Ribbon Demon?

669
00:41:11,886 --> 00:41:14,555
That power of yours, where did you get it?

670
00:41:15,598 --> 00:41:17,850
A power that can even defeat a Nergal.

671
00:41:18,392 --> 00:41:20,352
Did you undergo some kind
of special training?

672
00:41:20,936 --> 00:41:22,855
How is it that you're unaffected
by the mold?

673
00:41:22,938 --> 00:41:25,774
- [Sapphire] I don't know.
- Answer me. Don't pretend to be stupid.

674

But I'm telling the truth.

675
00:41:27,318 --> 00:41:30,404
I accidentally fell into a glowing pool
at the mining site,

676
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:32,740
and the power
just started flowing out of me.

677
00:41:32,823 --> 00:41:34,492
Are you saying it was the crystals?

678
00:41:34,575 --> 00:41:38,704
The body cannot survive that potent
an influx of concentrated photon energy.

679
00:41:40,164 --> 00:41:41,165
You're an immigrant.

680
00:41:41,749 --> 00:41:43,000
What country are you from?

681
00:41:43,834 --> 00:41:45,503
I come from Silver Land.

682
00:41:45,586 --> 00:41:47,713
[scoffs] Silver Land, huh?

683
00:41:47,796 --> 00:41:48,964
It's all destroyed now.

684
00:41:49,048 --> 00:41:50,966
I know who you are.

685
00:41:51,592 --> 00:41:53,928
You are the… The cursed princess.

686
00:41:54,011 --> 00:41:55,012
[gasps]

687
00:41:55,095 --> 00:41:58,557
You bear the responsibility
for the destruction of Silver Land.

688
00:42:00,476 --> 00:42:02,019
You escaped your destiny.

689
00:42:02,686 --> 00:42:04,813
Even if it meant the destruction
of your kingdom,

690
00:42:04,897 --> 00:42:06,315
the queen wouldn't let you die.

691
00:42:07,107 --> 00:42:09,360
How profoundly deep a mother's love is.

692
00:42:09,860 --> 00:42:12,696
[Sapphire] Wait a moment.
I don't understand anything you're saying.

693
00:42:13,197 --> 00:42:14,490
[Velvet] You really don't know?

694
00:42:15,491 --> 00:42:17,326
Nergals feed on pure souls.

695
00:42:18,327 --> 00:42:22,164
Had the proper sacrifices been made,
your kingdom could have avoided ruin.

696
00:42:23,582 --> 00:42:25,209
In the country of Silver Land,

697
00:42:25,292 --> 00:42:28,128
it is the pure soul of the princess
that has given as an offering.

698
00:42:29,505 --> 00:42:31,799
- You mean me?
- Precisely.

699
00:42:31,882 --> 00:42:34,301
But your mother, the Queen,
would not allow it.

700
00:42:34,927 --> 00:42:37,388
And as a result, your home was destroyed.

701
00:42:37,930 --> 00:42:41,350
You could even say you destroyed it,
Princess Sapphire.

702
00:42:41,433 --> 00:42:42,726
That can't be.

703
00:42:42,810 --> 00:42:44,228
I would never.

704
00:42:45,729 --> 00:42:49,984
You bear a curse, and now you want
to unleash it in our land?

705
00:42:50,067 --> 00:42:51,860
To bring Gold Land to ruin?

706
00:42:51,944 --> 00:42:54,405
Provoking the King of Ash
will bring nothing else.

707
00:42:55,114 --> 00:42:56,657
But the power of this ribbon,

708
00:42:57,241 --> 00:42:59,076
it can defeat the Nergal.

709
00:42:59,159 --> 00:43:02,871
I'm trying to tell you that power
will prove nothing but a calamity.

710
00:43:02,955 --> 00:43:04,540
No one asked you to intervene.

711
00:43:04,623 --> 00:43:06,834
[breath trembling] All the same,

712
00:43:07,501 --> 00:43:09,461
this power must be useful somehow.

713
00:43:11,088 --> 00:43:12,673
So why don't you help me?

714
00:43:13,173 --> 00:43:15,217
How am I supposed to break my curse?

715
00:43:16,260 --> 00:43:18,971
How was it done if not by fighting?

716
00:43:33,027 --> 00:43:33,944
[yawns]

717
00:43:35,404 --> 00:43:37,281
- [panting, exclaims]
- Ow!

718
00:43:37,364 --> 00:43:42,036
{\an8}[groans] Come on, Chorogy.
Can't you watch where you're going, bozo?

719
00:43:42,661 --> 00:43:44,997
- [groans]
- I'm sorry. I gotta--

720
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:46,707
You're not going anywhere.

721
00:43:46,790 --> 00:43:49,960
Where have you been?
You've been slacking off work all week!

722
00:43:50,044 --> 00:43:52,171
Something smells fishy.

723
00:43:58,552 --> 00:44:02,056
[Pine] <i>Why didn't I say anything?</i>
<i>Why didn't I try to stop them?</i>

724
00:44:02,973 --> 00:44:04,308
<i>I'm the worst friend ever.</i>

725
00:44:04,391 --> 00:44:06,477
[Zirco sighs] Quite the haul today.

726
00:44:07,811 --> 00:44:10,856
- Zirco.
- Oh. Is something the matter, Pine?

727
00:44:10,939 --> 00:44:12,399
I think she's in trouble!

728
00:44:12,483 --> 00:44:14,943
The Mitra came
and they took Sapphire away by force.

729
00:44:15,027 --> 00:44:17,237
- The Mitra?!
- [Hecate] If you want to know the details,

730
00:44:17,321 --> 00:44:19,114
- you can ask him.
- [groans]

731
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
Because he's the one who sold out
Sapphire's secret to Velvet

732
00:44:22,368 --> 00:44:23,243
and the Mitra.

733
00:44:24,078 --> 00:44:26,413
[Pine] Sapphire's secret?
What do you mean?

734
00:44:27,039 --> 00:44:30,042
The one who defeated the Nergal,
the Princess Knight is…

735
00:44:30,626 --> 00:44:32,878
Well, her real identity is Sapphire.

736
00:44:33,462 --> 00:44:34,838
Quiet! Zirco!

737
00:44:36,465 --> 00:44:38,342
But how did the two of you know about it?

738
00:44:38,425 --> 00:44:41,136
I only know because she saved my life,

739
00:44:41,220 --> 00:44:43,806
which is exactly what she did
for this slimy idiot.

740
00:44:43,889 --> 00:44:45,307
And yet he still ratted her out!

741
00:44:46,433 --> 00:44:47,768
It's not as simple as that.

742
00:44:47,851 --> 00:44:50,813
The Mitra got me all by myself,
and they were grilling me.

743
00:44:51,689 --> 00:44:53,607
I'm weak. I was scared.

744
00:44:54,525 --> 00:44:56,777
But I never thought
they'd try to execute her.

745
00:44:57,403 --> 00:44:58,278
But why?

746
00:44:58,362 --> 00:45:00,447
[both] What do you mean, execute her?

747
00:45:00,531 --> 00:45:03,409
I thought she'd be treated
just like all the other offenders.

748
00:45:03,492 --> 00:45:05,452
That she'd be thrown in a jail cell.

749
00:45:05,536 --> 00:45:06,370
[both] Huh?

750
00:45:06,453 --> 00:45:09,415
But then Lord Velvet drew his sword
and went for her.

751
00:45:09,998 --> 00:45:12,751
[sobbing] I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.

752
00:45:13,419 --> 00:45:17,214
Oh, come on, Chorogy.
Why are you the one crying now?

753
00:45:17,297 --> 00:45:18,924
I'll give you something to cry about.

754
00:45:19,007 --> 00:45:23,220
Hang on, Sapphire! I'll be there soon!
Zirco's coming to save you now!

755
00:45:23,303 --> 00:45:24,555
[Hecate] Are you really sorry?

756
00:45:24,638 --> 00:45:26,056
[Chorogy sobbing]

757
00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:29,560
- [Sapphire] Pine.
- [gasps]

758
00:45:31,437 --> 00:45:32,354
[Pine] Sapphire?

759
00:45:33,522 --> 00:45:36,483
- [chuckles] Sorry for making you worry.
- Sapphire!

760
00:45:37,151 --> 00:45:38,610
Oh, thank goodness.

761
00:45:38,694 --> 00:45:42,030
[Zirco] Huh? Sa… Sapphire!
You're all right!

762
00:45:42,906 --> 00:45:44,074
- [Zirco sobbing]
- Huh?

763
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
[gasps loudly] She's alive!

764
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,079
I didn't mean to make you all worry.

765
00:45:49,705 --> 00:45:52,082
- [Pine] How did you get away?
- [Chorogy] Thank heavens.

766
00:45:52,166 --> 00:45:54,251
[Zirco] Don't tell me
you struck Velvet down!

767
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,128
Of course not.

768
00:45:56,211 --> 00:45:57,838
I'm not sure how to say it.

769
00:45:57,921 --> 00:45:59,756
It's a bit of a long story.

770
00:46:02,134 --> 00:46:04,344
[electrical buzzing]

771
00:46:09,057 --> 00:46:10,934
Let go of me right now!

772
00:46:11,018 --> 00:46:13,395
I said, let me go!

773
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:16,315
- Now you let go! [grunting]
- [Velvet] Why did you bring her along?

774
00:46:17,024 --> 00:46:19,318
Now that she knows,
she cannot leave here alive.

775
00:46:19,401 --> 00:46:21,737
No matter how many times
we turned her away,

776
00:46:21,820 --> 00:46:24,281
she kept following.
Shall I dispose of her?

777
00:46:24,990 --> 00:46:27,701
- No, wait!
- If you do anything to my Sapphire,

778
00:46:27,784 --> 00:46:29,870
I'll make sure you pay for it!

779
00:46:29,953 --> 00:46:31,955
She can be trusted. She's not a spy.

780
00:46:32,039 --> 00:46:33,457
[Velvet] Why should I believe that?

781
00:46:33,540 --> 00:46:36,752
What, do you get some kind of sick kick
out of bullying an old woman?

782
00:46:36,835 --> 00:46:39,796
[Velvet] Informants come in all shapes,
sizes and ages.

783
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,466
{\an8}We've been together a long time.
She's family to me.

784
00:46:42,549 --> 00:46:45,344
[Zirco] I'll make you all pay!
I mean it! [grunts]

785
00:46:45,427 --> 00:46:47,804
- [Sapphire] I'm begging you.
- Let me go!

786
00:46:47,888 --> 00:46:48,889
[grunting]

787
00:46:49,431 --> 00:46:51,350
[scoffs] Very well, then.

788
00:46:51,433 --> 00:46:53,769
- [Zirco] Let go of me!
- She makes one suspicious move,

789
00:46:53,852 --> 00:46:55,521
she gets the sword.

790
00:46:56,230 --> 00:46:57,314
Now hurry up.

791
00:47:01,109 --> 00:47:04,363
<i>Where we are headed today</i>
<i>is the Pillar of Creation.</i>

792
00:47:05,656 --> 00:47:08,242
<i>They are gateways to the world</i>
<i>where the Nergal dwell.</i>

793
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,704
<i>In truth, the Nergal</i>
<i>are not creatures of this world.</i>

794
00:47:14,081 --> 00:47:15,791
<i>They cannot be killed either.</i>

795
00:47:15,874 --> 00:47:17,584
<i>They may not even be alive at all.</i>

796
00:47:17,668 --> 00:47:19,962
[Sapphire] <i>These Nergal, what are they?</i>

797
00:47:20,462 --> 00:47:23,840
[Velvet] <i>All I know for sure is that</i>
<i>they are beings that devour souls.</i>

798
00:47:24,466 --> 00:47:27,052
<i>They can usually satiate</i>
<i>their hunger with crystals.</i>

799
00:47:27,678 --> 00:47:28,971
<i>But if the crystals run low,</i>

800
00:47:29,054 --> 00:47:31,807
<i>they come to the city</i>
<i>to devour human souls instead.</i>

801
00:47:31,890 --> 00:47:34,476
[Sapphire] <i>Can a creature like that</i>
<i>even be defeated?</i>

802
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,646
[Velvet] <i>The Nergal are connected</i>
<i>to our world by components called factors,</i>

803
00:47:37,729 --> 00:47:40,232
<i>and they could be destroyed.</i>
<i>Just one is not enough.</i>

804
00:47:40,774 --> 00:47:42,317
<i>But destroy all of them,</i>

805
00:47:42,401 --> 00:47:44,570
<i>and the King of Ash</i>
<i>could be severed from our world.</i>

806
00:47:45,279 --> 00:47:47,447
[Sapphire] <i>How can you say that</i>
<i>with such certainty?</i>

807
00:47:48,448 --> 00:47:51,410
[Velvet] <i>Look, at one time,</i>
<i>a great kingdom stood there.</i>

808
00:47:52,119 --> 00:47:53,745
<i>No one alive remembers it now.</i>

809
00:47:54,371 --> 00:47:56,373
<i>But I discovered</i>
<i>some of their ancient records,</i>

810
00:47:56,456 --> 00:47:58,917
<i>and in them were accounts</i>
<i>of those who fought the Nergal.</i>

811
00:47:59,501 --> 00:48:02,212
[Sapphire] <i>Even so, their kingdom</i>
<i>was still destroyed.</i>

812
00:48:02,296 --> 00:48:04,590
[Velvet] <i>The Nergal that ravaged</i>
<i>this once great kingdom</i>

813
00:48:04,673 --> 00:48:07,175
<i>was most likely the same</i>
<i>that attacked your homeland.</i>

814
00:48:07,718 --> 00:48:08,552
[Sapphire] <i>What?</i>

815
00:48:09,094 --> 00:48:11,805
[Velvet] <i>It has appeared</i>
<i>at regular intervals throughout history,</i>

816
00:48:11,888 --> 00:48:13,765
<i>and caused the downfall of many a nation.</i>

817
00:48:14,516 --> 00:48:15,642
<i>The Prime Nergal.</i>

818
00:48:16,393 --> 00:48:19,021
[Sapphire] <i>So then,</i>
<i>I'll have to face that one, too?</i>

819
00:48:19,104 --> 00:48:22,190
[Velvet] <i>The Prime Nergal's return</i>
<i>is the cataclysm the Mitra feared most.</i>

820
00:48:22,983 --> 00:48:25,193
<i>Your powers might be</i>
<i>just what we need to understand</i>

821
00:48:25,277 --> 00:48:26,778
<i>the truth behind the King of Ash.</i>

822
00:48:28,238 --> 00:48:29,906
<i>And I intend to find out.</i>

823
00:48:32,367 --> 00:48:33,243
There it is.

824
00:48:35,162 --> 00:48:36,747
[Sapphire] That's a Pillar of Creation?

825
00:48:43,420 --> 00:48:45,255
[Velvet] The curse here is too strong.

826
00:48:45,339 --> 00:48:47,466
We can get no closer,
or risk being infected.

827
00:48:49,926 --> 00:48:50,844
What's the matter?

828
00:48:51,637 --> 00:48:53,597
Have you lost your nerve
now that you've seen it?

829
00:48:54,514 --> 00:48:56,391
Of course not. I'm ready.

830
00:48:57,351 --> 00:48:58,185
[Zirco] Ah!

831
00:48:58,852 --> 00:49:00,020
You're gonna want this.

832
00:49:00,103 --> 00:49:02,731
Wow. You finished it already?

833
00:49:02,814 --> 00:49:04,775
{\an8}Press here, and voila.

834
00:49:06,318 --> 00:49:07,527
{\an8}That should come in handy.

835
00:49:09,071 --> 00:49:10,614
{\an8}Thank you so much, Zirco.

836
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:14,868
{\an8}Hmm. Just promise
you'll come back in one piece.

837
00:49:23,669 --> 00:49:26,088
[dramatic music playing]

838
00:49:43,021 --> 00:49:44,106
The gateway.

839
00:49:49,319 --> 00:49:50,195
Huh?

840
00:49:51,405 --> 00:49:52,280
Ah!

841
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,078
[screaming]

842
00:50:04,710 --> 00:50:05,919
[grunts]

843
00:50:07,713 --> 00:50:10,173
The Princess Knight to the rescue.

844
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,846
What is this place? Where am I?

845
00:50:17,514 --> 00:50:18,348
[gasps]

846
00:50:37,868 --> 00:50:41,413
[gasps] It can't be.
Is that Mother and Father?

847
00:50:45,917 --> 00:50:46,793
[groans]

848
00:50:47,753 --> 00:50:50,130
[groaning]

849
00:51:11,651 --> 00:51:13,904

01:02:21,404 --> 01:02:24,824
{\an8}If the Pillars of Creation
can't be stopped and keep growing,

1027
01:02:24,907 --> 01:02:27,702
{\an8}and one of the Nergal appears once more,

1028
01:02:27,785 --> 01:02:31,330
{\an8}the Mitra will have no choice
but to demand a sacrifice.

1029
01:02:31,414 --> 01:02:33,124
{\an8}What are you talking about?

1030
01:02:33,207 --> 01:02:34,959
{\an8}The sacrifices offered here

1031
01:02:35,042 --> 01:02:36,544
are the church's orphans.

1032
01:02:36,627 --> 01:02:38,045
[gasps]

1033
01:02:38,129 --> 01:02:40,006
They're like you, Sapphire,

1034
01:02:40,089 --> 01:02:41,758
doomed to a cursed fate.

1035
01:02:43,801 --> 01:02:45,344
I understand.

1036
01:02:45,428 --> 01:02:46,721
You want to save them.

1037
01:02:46,804 --> 01:02:47,889
Velvet, I can help.

1038
01:02:47,972 --> 01:02:51,559
How dare you presume to understand
someone else's heart?

1039
01:02:52,518 --> 01:02:57,231
Your little imagined reality
is not the same as my truth.

1040
01:02:57,982 --> 01:02:59,150
[exhales]

1041
01:03:00,443 --> 01:03:01,736
I'll do it.

1042
01:03:01,819 --> 01:03:03,321
I'll be the sacrifice.

1043
01:03:04,155 --> 01:03:07,408
After all, it was meant to be
my destiny in Silverland.

1044
01:03:08,201 --> 01:03:09,869
So if I can't stop it first,

1045
01:03:09,952 --> 01:03:11,537
I'll take their place.

1046
01:03:12,997 --> 01:03:14,582
Please.

1047
01:03:14,665 --> 01:03:16,542
Let me keep fighting till the end.

1048
01:03:18,836 --> 01:03:20,922
Don't let my power go to waste.

1049
01:03:24,842 --> 01:03:26,719
[electrical buzzing]

1050
01:03:29,972 --> 01:03:32,058
[White Mitra 1]
This area is currently sealed off.

1051
01:03:32,141 --> 01:03:35,144
- [man] You really have it under control?
- [White Mitra 2] Don't push.

1052
01:03:35,228 --> 01:03:36,646
Please, for your own safety.

1053
01:03:36,729 --> 01:03:40,149
We are asking all citizens
to remain inside their homes.

1054
01:03:42,026 --> 01:03:43,986
[White Mitra 3]
It seems to be contained for now.

1055
01:03:44,070 --> 01:03:46,989
[White Mitra 4] The pillar respawn rate
is also decreasing.

1056
01:03:49,617 --> 01:03:51,786
[White Mitra 5]
That very nearly took us to the brink,

1057
01:03:51,869 --> 01:03:53,037
but we're stopping it.

1058
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:54,288
[people clamoring]

1059
01:03:56,916 --> 01:03:58,084
[clamor continues]

1060
01:03:58,167 --> 01:03:59,669
[Sapphire] Everyone, remain calm!

1061
01:03:59,752 --> 01:04:00,837
[dramatic music playing]

1062
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:02,213
[people exclaiming]

1063
01:04:04,090 --> 01:04:06,175
The Princess Knight to the rescue!

1064
01:04:06,259 --> 01:04:07,385
- Oh!
- Oh!

1065
01:04:07,468 --> 01:04:08,845
It's the Princess Knight!

1066
01:04:10,888 --> 01:04:12,765
You don't need to worry.

1067
01:04:12,849 --> 01:04:14,350
[woman] Thank goodness!

1068
01:04:14,433 --> 01:04:15,726
[man] She'll save us!

1069
01:04:15,810 --> 01:04:17,103
[fire roaring]

1070
01:04:18,187 --> 01:04:19,689
[music continues]

1071
01:04:19,772 --> 01:04:21,649
[bleating]

1072
01:04:21,732 --> 01:04:22,733
[gasping]

1073
01:04:23,442 --> 01:04:24,652
[bubbling]

1074
01:04:25,361 --> 01:04:26,362
[explosion]

1075
01:04:26,445 --> 01:04:27,655
[people screaming]

1076
01:04:28,364 --> 01:04:30,116
[man] The tower is collapsing!

1077
01:04:32,285 --> 01:04:33,578
No way!

1078
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:46,757
No, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no you don't!

1079
01:04:46,841 --> 01:04:48,259
That thing is huge.

1080
01:04:48,342 --> 01:04:50,011
Is she gonna be able to stop it?

1081
01:04:51,429 --> 01:04:52,930
[grunts]

1082
01:04:53,014 --> 01:04:54,098
[Pine panting]

1083
01:04:55,099 --> 01:04:56,601
[Zirco] Whoa!

1084
01:04:56,684 --> 01:04:58,269
What's going on?

1085
01:04:58,853 --> 01:04:59,896
[barking]

1086
01:05:01,522 --> 01:05:03,774
[Mitra 1] An evacuation order
has been issued.

1087
01:05:03,858 --> 01:05:05,318
All citizens must comply.

1088
01:05:05,401 --> 01:05:07,653
- Come, darling, this way.
- [Mitra 1] Women and children…

1089
01:05:07,737 --> 01:05:09,238
Can you tell us what's happening?

1090
01:05:09,322 --> 01:05:10,656
[sobbing]

1091
01:05:10,740 --> 01:05:14,327
[Mitra 2] It's going to be all right.
Do you know where your parents are?

1092
01:05:14,410 --> 01:05:15,870
[gate bangs loudly]

1093
01:05:15,953 --> 01:05:17,580
[guard 1] Move back! Move back!

1094
01:05:17,663 --> 01:05:19,165
[man] Wait! You can't do this.

1095
01:05:20,708 --> 01:05:23,377
[guard 2]
Full domestic lockdown is now in effect.

1096
01:05:23,461 --> 01:05:25,379
[people clamoring]

1097
01:05:26,839 --> 01:05:28,382
[bell clanging continuously]

1098
01:05:35,932 --> 01:05:37,767
- [Mitra] Found it.
- [White Mitra] Well done.

1099
01:05:37,850 --> 01:05:40,186
[bell continues clanging]

1100
01:05:44,023 --> 01:05:47,068
[Velvet] Pardon the intrusion,
Your Holiness.

1101
01:05:47,151 --> 01:05:48,819
- [cutlery clinks]
- [Pope] You may enter.

1102
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,618
You summoned me, so I have dutifully come.

1103
01:05:59,956 --> 01:06:02,458
I suspect that you already know why.

1104
01:06:03,042 --> 01:06:04,460
[clanging]

1105
01:06:04,543 --> 01:06:06,837
[suspenseful music playing]

1106
01:06:07,463 --> 01:06:09,548
This is your doing, isn't it?

1107
01:06:13,552 --> 01:06:14,804
Yes.

1108
01:06:15,429 --> 01:06:16,430
[sighs wearily]

1109
01:06:16,514 --> 01:06:19,976
But Your Holiness,
I believe that girl may very well be

1110
01:06:20,059 --> 01:06:22,395
the Angel of Hope
that we have so long awaited.

1111
01:06:23,396 --> 01:06:27,149
With her mysterious powers, she was able
to successfully seal away a Nergal.

1112
01:06:27,817 --> 01:06:29,652
And not just once or twice.

1113
01:06:29,735 --> 01:06:32,738
I understand that toppling a Nergal
goes against the Mitra customs,

1114
01:06:32,822 --> 01:06:35,950
but the power she possesses
could potentially put an end

1115
01:06:36,033 --> 01:06:38,077
to all of our suffering, once and for all.

1116
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:39,912
Velvet. Listen.

1117
01:06:39,996 --> 01:06:41,205
Yes, sir.

1118
01:06:41,288 --> 01:06:45,418
That immigrant girl,
she is not our Angel of Hope.

1119
01:06:45,501 --> 01:06:46,627
But Your Holiness--

1120
01:06:46,711 --> 01:06:49,714
You place far too much faith
in human beings.

1121
01:06:49,797 --> 01:06:51,257
[Velvet gasps]

1122
01:06:51,340 --> 01:06:55,886
We humans are not nearly as strong
as you hope and believe us to be.

1123
01:06:55,970 --> 01:07:00,141
It is an inescapable truth for all people,
including that girl.

1124
01:07:00,224 --> 01:07:02,977
And being the weak
and frail beings that they are,

1125
01:07:03,060 --> 01:07:06,564
when they are subjected
to cruel trials, they break.

1126
01:07:06,647 --> 01:07:10,860
That is why we, the Mitra,
must help guide and govern the hapless

1127
01:07:10,943 --> 01:07:13,696
and, at times, serve as a shield as well.

1128
01:07:13,779 --> 01:07:15,197
There must be another way.

1129
01:07:16,115 --> 01:07:17,992
Do not forget your teachings, Velvet.

1130
01:07:18,075 --> 01:07:20,953
Human beings are weak of heart and spirit.

1131
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:24,290
Only by finding a common enemy
can they truly work together

1132
01:07:24,373 --> 01:07:26,250
for the progress of their kind.

1133
01:07:26,333 --> 01:07:29,879
This applies to you…
and yes, even to myself.

1134
01:07:29,962 --> 01:07:31,047
Your Holiness.

1135
01:07:32,214 --> 01:07:33,215
I can't just…

1136
01:07:33,299 --> 01:07:34,884
I have to do something.

1137
01:07:36,093 --> 01:07:39,930
{\an8}The weak and frail creatures of this world
are sacrificed to power.

1138
01:07:40,014 --> 01:07:42,475
{\an8}A law as constant as the sun.

1139
01:07:42,558 --> 01:07:46,437
{\an8}Humankind is mercilessly
assailed by the King of Ash.

1140
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:49,982
{\an8}That is the unalterable
natural state of our existence.

1141
01:07:50,900 --> 01:07:54,320
Just as humans gain their sustenance
from Golden Rats,

1142
01:07:54,403 --> 01:07:58,074
humans, then, must serve
as nourishment for the king.

1143
01:07:58,157 --> 01:08:01,077
{\an8}Humanity is happiest
when it is kept safe and cloistered,

1144
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,412
{\an8}where the illusion of peace eases them.

1145
01:08:04,497 --> 01:08:06,791
{\an8}But you and the girl
have shattered that dream.

1146
01:08:07,500 --> 01:08:08,751
[Velvet breathes shakily]

1147
01:08:11,253 --> 01:08:13,089
[pensive music playing]

1148
01:08:21,889 --> 01:08:24,475
- [guard 1] Report the situation.
- [guard 2] Yes, sir.

1149
01:08:24,558 --> 01:08:28,521
It appears there is someone
fighting a Nergal at the city gate.

1150
01:08:28,604 --> 01:08:31,148
[guard 1 exhales] Let's move out!

1151
01:08:31,232 --> 01:08:32,566
[guard 2] Yes, sir.

1152
01:08:32,650 --> 01:08:34,360
[both panting]

1153
01:08:34,443 --> 01:08:36,070
[all gasping]

1154
01:08:36,695 --> 01:08:37,988
That can't be good.

1155
01:08:39,615 --> 01:08:40,658
Sapphire!

1156
01:08:40,741 --> 01:08:42,660
- [Chorogy] Time to take a stand!
- [all] Huh?

1157
01:08:43,410 --> 01:08:44,620
[snickers]

1158
01:08:45,246 --> 01:08:47,039
[Pine] Ch… Chorogy?

1159
01:08:47,123 --> 01:08:49,500
What the hell are you wearing?

1160
01:08:50,835 --> 01:08:52,044
Are you just gonna sit around

1161
01:08:52,128 --> 01:08:54,130
when we could be helping
the Princess Knight?

1162
01:08:55,047 --> 01:08:56,465
[Rock] Help her? How?

1163
01:08:57,049 --> 01:08:59,343
How are you gonna fight a Nergal?

1164
01:08:59,426 --> 01:09:00,469
What are you thinking?

1165
01:09:00,553 --> 01:09:01,887
[Chick and Tack] There's no way!

1166
01:09:01,971 --> 01:09:03,430
[Zirco] You could be killed!

1167
01:09:04,140 --> 01:09:06,725
I'm not sure how,
but even if we can't fight that thing,

1168
01:09:06,809 --> 01:09:08,686
there must be something we can do.

1169
01:09:08,769 --> 01:09:10,896
I've got things I want to protect, too.

1170
01:09:11,897 --> 01:09:14,150
If we want to help,
we gotta do it ourselves.

1171
01:09:15,734 --> 01:09:17,027
You're right, Chorogy.

1172
01:09:17,111 --> 01:09:18,821
You can count me in.

1173
01:09:18,904 --> 01:09:20,906
I'm always just the one getting saved.

1174
01:09:21,907 --> 01:09:23,617
It's about time I return the favor.

1175
01:09:23,701 --> 01:09:25,744
[gasps] I'll go, too!

1176
01:09:26,453 --> 01:09:29,165
[Chick] You're right. Let's do this.

1177
01:09:29,248 --> 01:09:31,792
[Tack] If Chorogy can find
the courage then…

1178
01:09:31,876 --> 01:09:33,794
[Zirco] I guess that leaves me no choice.

1179
01:09:33,878 --> 01:09:35,171
The old lady is in, too.

1180
01:09:35,254 --> 01:09:37,089
- [Chick and Tack] Yay!
- [Zirco] Let's do this.

1181
01:09:37,173 --> 01:09:38,591
[Rock] Sapphire needs us!

1182
01:09:40,092 --> 01:09:41,343
[clanging]

1183
01:09:43,053 --> 01:09:44,180
[clanging]

1184
01:09:45,347 --> 01:09:46,640
[crackling]

1185
01:09:49,018 --> 01:09:50,769
[panting]

1186
01:09:50,853 --> 01:09:51,854
It's no use.

1187
01:09:51,937 --> 01:09:53,063
They just keep coming.

1188
01:09:53,147 --> 01:09:55,149
[guard 1] What do you think you're doing?

1189
01:09:55,232 --> 01:09:56,233
[grunting]

1190
01:09:56,317 --> 01:09:58,611
Get your hands off!

1191
01:09:58,694 --> 01:09:59,528
[loud clanging]

1192
01:10:00,654 --> 01:10:02,156
[rumbling]

1193
01:10:02,656 --> 01:10:04,200
[all grunting]

1194
01:10:04,283 --> 01:10:05,451
Hmm?

1195
01:10:07,703 --> 01:10:09,079
Whoa!

1196
01:10:09,163 --> 01:10:10,789
[ominous music playing]

1197
01:10:16,545 --> 01:10:18,172

Why are we still inside the Pillar?

1298

[Pine's father] We should at least try and
get Pine evacuated to the upper levels.

I'll see if my connection can help.

I pray our child can be spared.

1316

<i>Nothing at all.</i>

1317

[Sapphire] Let's try and find something
we can do together.

But if that's the case,
then you're gonna have to be my friend.

This must be what was amplifying
her inexplicable energy.

Have you prepared the altar?

1334
01:19:47,073 --> 01:19:49,576
[Mitra] It will be ready shortly,
Your Holiness.

1335
01:19:49,659 --> 01:19:50,786
Excellent.

1336
01:19:50,869 --> 01:19:52,829
Gather the children for the ritual,

1337
01:19:52,913 --> 01:19:56,124
and any Mitra volunteers
willing to sacrifice their life.

1338
01:19:56,208 --> 01:19:57,334
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

1339

It doesn't have to be this way.

Why are you still going
to sacrifice the orphans?

1341
01:20:03,882 --> 01:20:06,426
Why can't we sacrifice Sapphire instead?

1342
01:20:06,510 --> 01:20:08,220
She should be our sacrifice.

1343
01:20:08,303 --> 01:20:10,722
You still don't understand.

1344
01:20:10,806 --> 01:20:13,600
That would only be violence
for violence's sake.

1345
01:20:13,683 --> 01:20:17,604
On the contrary, that impulse
would only worsen the situation.

1346

{\an8}But why?

1347
01:20:19,898 --> 01:20:22,275
{\an8}It is not a curse but a creed,

1348
01:20:22,359 --> 01:20:24,820
{\an8}the Nergal are the repetition
of life and death,

1349

{\an8}of creation and destruction.

1350
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:30,450
{\an8}Our emotions and memories
are bound to them.

{\an8}We are trapped in an endless cycle
of chaos and struggle

1357
01:20:48,802 --> 01:20:51,721

<i>for that compassion and sorrow.</i>

1363
01:21:11,324 --> 01:21:16,788
We Mitra have no feelings for that girl,
so she will not serve our purpose.

This is not Silverland.

It is only through pain and suffering
that our prayers are delivered.

1366

We will try to mitigate the losses

as much as we possibly can.

01:40:43,328 --> 01:40:46,457
[crowd] Encore! Encore!

1733
01:40:46,540 --> 01:40:50,794
Encore! Encore! Encore!

1734
01:40:50,878 --> 01:40:53,422
Were you destined to be me somewhere else?

1735
01:40:53,505 --> 01:40:55,716
Are you another version of my soul?

1736
01:40:57,134 --> 01:40:59,052
Thank you for everything.

1737
01:41:00,220 --> 01:41:04,850
I hope the new world that you're going to
is a beautiful and happy one.

1738
01:41:04,933 --> 01:41:06,977

1741
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:24,161
[Sapphire]
<i>May all these souls at last find peace.</i>

1742
01:41:24,244 --> 01:41:25,829
[triumphant music playing]

1743
01:41:38,217 --> 01:41:40,385
[people exclaiming]

1744
01:41:43,639 --> 01:41:45,891
[music continues]

1745
01:41:49,603 --> 01:41:51,438
[all gasping]

1746
01:41:51,522 --> 01:41:53,398
Sapphire, you did it!

1747
01:41:53,482 --> 01:41:55,359
She saved us!

1748
01:41:56,276 --> 01:41:57,820
[chuckles softly]

1749
01:42:01,240 --> 01:42:02,741
[Sapphire panting]

1750
01:42:02,825 --> 01:42:04,576
[Sapphire] Hey, guys!

1751
01:42:04,660 --> 01:42:06,078
- Huh?
- [Sapphire] Hey, you guys!

1752
01:42:06,912 --> 01:42:08,831
[Pine laughs]

1753
01:42:08,914 --> 01:42:11,166
- [Zirco] Sapphire!
- [all] You did it! Sapphire!

1754
01:42:11,250 --> 01:42:12,501
[Sapphire laughing]

1755
01:42:13,752 --> 01:42:15,546
Why do you all look like
you've seen a ghost?

1756
01:42:15,629 --> 01:42:17,005
Did you ever doubt me?

1757
01:42:18,090 --> 01:42:21,718
The Princess Knight to the rescue again!

1758
01:42:23,136 --> 01:42:27,641
I would have let the world burn
if it meant I'd be saving these children.

1759
01:42:27,724 --> 01:42:30,435
And I imagine that's how
your parents felt, too.

1760
01:42:32,479 --> 01:42:33,897
You might be right.

1761
01:42:35,190 --> 01:42:37,609
What will the Princess Knight do now?

1762
01:42:37,693 --> 01:42:40,612
I'd be happy to help
in any way that I can.

1763
01:42:41,405 --> 01:42:46,535
Thanks, but first, I'm going
to pay a visit to Silver Land.

1764
01:42:46,618 --> 01:42:49,121
I have to pay my respects.

1765
01:42:49,204 --> 01:42:52,082
Mourn Mother, Father and the kingdom.

1766
01:42:53,584 --> 01:42:55,544
You can bet I'm coming, too!

1767
01:42:55,627 --> 01:42:56,628
[Sapphire chuckles]

1768
01:42:56,712 --> 01:42:59,256
[all] What?!

1769
01:42:59,339 --> 01:43:00,924
Come on!

1770
01:43:01,008 --> 01:43:02,801
Don't make this any harder.

1771
01:43:05,596 --> 01:43:08,265
So you're really leaving us?

1772
01:43:08,348 --> 01:43:10,225
I've made up my mind.

1773
01:43:10,309 --> 01:43:12,477
But once I get there,
I'll write to you, Pine.

1774
01:43:12,561 --> 01:43:15,314
If you and the others
hadn't been there cheering me on,

1775
01:43:15,397 --> 01:43:17,065
I never would have won.

1776
01:43:17,774 --> 01:43:20,277
Because Pine, you were
the one who broke my curse.

1777
01:43:20,819 --> 01:43:22,362
[giggles]

1778
01:43:22,446 --> 01:43:23,614
Sapphire!

1779
01:43:23,697 --> 01:43:25,657
[Sapphire grunts, chuckles]

1780
01:43:25,741 --> 01:43:29,244
I'll visit.
I'll come and see you in Silver Land.

1781
01:43:29,328 --> 01:43:31,997
'Cause, we're friends.
Friends forever, right?

1782
01:43:32,831 --> 01:43:35,000
Yeah, we're all friends forever.

1783
01:43:36,543 --> 01:43:38,962
[triumphant music playing]

1784
01:43:39,046 --> 01:43:42,466
[Sapphire] <i>Not a single Nergal</i>
<i>appeared again since then.</i>

1785
01:43:42,549 --> 01:43:45,802
<i>It seemed like at long last,</i>
<i>the cycle had been broken.</i>

1786
01:43:46,678 --> 01:43:51,600
<i>I hope someday,</i>
<i>or better yet, starting now,</i>

1787
01:43:51,683 --> 01:43:54,686
<i>I hope that the people</i>
<i>who have been hurt can begin to heal,</i>

1788
01:43:54,770 --> 01:43:56,605
<i>however slowly.</i>

1789
01:43:56,688 --> 01:44:00,025
<i>And that their newfound future</i>
<i>is brilliantly bright.</i>

1790
01:44:02,945 --> 01:44:04,947
